STAMFORD — A judge has denied an emergency application for child custody filed by the sister of a Connecticut woman fatally shot by police after attempting to ram her car through a White House barrier.

Eric Sanders, an attorney for the Carey family, said they have only seen the girl once since Miriam Carey was shot last Thursday following a high-speed police chase in Washington, D.C. The girl was inside the vehicle but unhurt.

Sanders said the Careys "have no idea" about Erica's current whereabouts.
